Scary Effectiveness of Assembly Videos
by Captain Schmideo2 inwell, i got to see the final day of this years regional convention.and i saw something that disturbs me.. the final, "summing up review" video.
it disturbs me because it was so well done.
(i wish i could remember the title of the song), to the strains of a solo vocalist singing in a fine "irish tenor", we see the actors from the previous videos of the last few days all assembling together in a clearing.

4. Figure our why kids want to go to school and Murder their classmates. This has been going on for 20 years. What has happened in the past 20 years that started this? Why was this not happening since 1999?
Every thing you said rings true, truth_b_known. But l highlighted the last part because l think it is the biggest problem of all.

Foetus baptism
by Fay Dehr infoetus baptism - surely coming to a watchtower study article soon?
jw parents are reminded of 2 ti.3:14,14 "from infancy you have known the holy writings".
and the watchtower explains the greek word bre'phos "infancy" as follows: "...it is generally used of an unborn child.

Good for you, Dagney. And so we saved ourselves while the cult sucked away at our simple joys and friendships.

TD- Mae West and Fields were volatile — l read there was no love lost between them. But the tiny tough woman at the bar was Faye (Kelly)Adler.
There is equal opportunity here for irreverent humor. I love it.
edit: Oddly it was your remark on a different thread that reminded me of this clip : you asked was it Barbour or Russell and who originated some point of chronology?
The film, sheriff Fields: “Well, l started kicking her first.”

Hospitality - How not to.....March 2018 study article.
by punkofnice inwhat do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.
2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.
4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.

Right punky,
First: l am not Christian. But the piece you have there from the Watchtower study is so against what I understood when I first read the Gospels l want/need to say:
Lukes gospel reads (paraphrase)when you have a feast don’t ask your friends family and rich neighbors to come. Because they’ll just reward you by asking you back over to feast at their place. Instead ask the crippled lame, blind and the poor people who can’t pay you back. You’ll get your reward in the judgment of the righteous.
But on the other hand the gospel doesn’t tell us we be twisted about having a good time with friends. Or anyone else for that matter.
Jesus cooked fish on the seashore for his disciples. Once he said” let’s go to a quiet place and relax”. One that especially resonated was when he was eating at Mary, Larry and Martha’s Place with his friends/disciples. Martha complains to Jesus that Mary was hanging out with the fellas instead of choring in the kitchen . Jesus said not to worry about fixing up so much stuff - the least is enough-choose that and come join us. And Jesus ate with Zacheus the taxman- a social pariah.
But the Watchtower fetishizes who you eat and hang out with. In fact WT spent a lot of time un-doing anything generous in Jesus’ teachings. Even the JW memorial of Jesus’ death is a ritual of exclusion: The JW “Last Supper“celebrates the invisible savior by emphasizing that no one gets to share in his annual supper.
It is weird.
Everyone gets all dressed up on that special Moon to get hammered with scriptures reminding them that 144,000 got a ticket but most don’t. Then a few guys with the best suits are the waiters who take the special bread and wine around the room. Only those most lost in the cult eat or drink so it is mostly the unworthies who pass the holy meal down the rows to the other unworthies. The Memorial effectively emphases that Jesus- for reasons they cannot fathom— will not share his food with them.
Fucking pathetic.
It became the emptiest time of the JW year for me. Christmas ran a close second.
But we all know the ultimate JW rejection of hospitality —the one that goes all year , year after year. Shunning for the greater glory glory of god and the benefit of the sinner.
Jesus wept.

I watched it all. Jason represents every good thing that
youa JW would hope to hear from a really fine Jehovah‘s witness youth. He did everything just right. And his parents did everything just right. He had a very pleasant childhood. The problem arose because he had questions.He looked for answers because he wanted to be better at ministry.
O my god! the paranoia when he eventually looked in literature outside the WT.
Deceptively undramatic, this story and it’s conclusion reveals the sure death you suffer- to your family or else to yourself-if you discover the ttatt.
Great job all around. Hi quality presentation.
